Everyone said, "Even the generals are certainly not as good as the king of Qin." Lin Xiangru said, "Yes, everyone is afraid of the King of Qin, but for Zhao's sake, I dare to reprimand him at the Qin court. How can I be afraid when I see General Lian? " I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought that the powerful State of Qin, because of General Lian and I, dare not attack Zhao? If two tigers contend, they will both lose. I don't care about personal grievances, and I let General Lian everywhere, for the benefit of the country. "Hearing these words, everyone cooled down, dismissed the idea of leaving home, but more respect for Lin Xiangru.

Later, someone told Lian Po what Lin Xiangru said. Lian Po was deeply moved and ashamed. He thinks he is so narrow-minded. He was so sorry for Lin Xiangru that he decided to plead guilty to his face.

One day, he took off his shirt and went to Lin Xiangru's mansion with Vitex negundo naked on his back.

"Lin Xiangru saw this scene, quickly help Lian Po, two people embrace together.

From then on, the two men eliminated barriers and strengthened unity. Qi Xin joined forces to defend Zhao, and the powerful Qin State dared not invade Zhao easily.

Etiquette story in ancient and modern China and foreign countries 2: A friendship becomes a war.

In 592 BC, Qi Qinggong, then the monarch of the State of Qi, met the envoys of Jin, Lu, Wei and Cao in the court. Ambassadors from various countries brought precious gifts such as jet, coins and silk to Qi Qinggong. When offering gifts, Qi Qinggong looked down and saw that Yaqing Ke Yu of the State of Jin was one-eyed, Shang Qing of the State of Lu was bald, patriotic and lame, and the head of the doctor's son of Cao was hunchbacked. He couldn't help laughing to himself: Why did the envoys of the four countries have flaws?

That night, when Qi Qinggong met his mother Xiao Furen, he told Xiao Furen the four people he met during the day as jokes. Xiao Furen was very happy and insisted on seeing for himself. Just the next day, Qi Qinggong gave a banquet to entertain the envoys of various countries, so he promised to let Xiao Furen hide behind the curtain and watch. The next day, when the cars of the envoys of the four countries arrived together and entered the hall in turn, Xiao Furen lifted the curtain and looked out.

Yang Xiang strangled the tiger to save his relatives.

Yang Xiang's saving relatives is a traditional etiquette story in China.

Yang Xiang is a fourteen-year-old girl. One day, she followed her father Yang Feng to the field to harvest crops. Just halfway through, they suddenly jumped out of a big tiger, bit Yang Xiang's father and ran back. Yang Xiang was unarmed at that time, but she was not afraid of danger. She only thinks about her father who was dragged away by the tiger, and ignores her life and death. She ran quickly, grabbed the tiger by the neck and strangled it. At first, the tiger fought back, but Yang Xiang refused to let go. The tiger gradually lost its strength, ground its teeth and finally died. Yang Xiang's father is finally out of danger and out of the tiger.

Later generations praised Yang Xiang for writing an essay:

Yang Xiang is fourteen years old. With my father, I collected millet in the field, and my father pulled it for the tiger to eat. When Xiang was unarmed, he only knew that he had a father, but he didn't know that he had a body. Enthusiastically stepped forward and grabbed the tiger by the neck. The tiger gritted his teeth and saved his father from harm.

Mencius divorced his wife.

Mencius, a thinker, politician and educator in the Warring States period, was the main representative of the Confucian school after Confucius, and was honored as the "sage" after Confucius by later generations.

Mencius' achievements in his life are inseparable from his mother's education since childhood. Meng Mu is a great mother who combines kindness, strictness and wisdom. As early as Mencius' childhood, later generations left stories with profound educational significance, such as "Meng Mu's Three Movements" and "Meng Mu's Breaking Weaving". After Mencius got married, Meng Mu continued to enlighten and educate him by dealing with trivial matters of family life, helping him to further improve his personality in all aspects.

On one occasion, Mencius' wife was resting in her room. Because she was alone, she sat with her legs crossed without scruple. At this moment, Mencius pushed the door and came in. He was very angry when he saw his wife sitting like this.

It turns out that the ancients said that it is impolite to sit with your legs spread forward in a basket, and it is also impolite to stand on people. Mencius went out without a word. When he met Meng Mu, he said, "I want to divorce my wife and go back to her house." Meng Mu asked him, "Why?" Mencius said, "She has neither grace nor grace." Meng Mu asked again, "Why do you think she is rude?" "She sits with her legs crossed and leans against someone," Mencius replied, "so I want to divorce her." "Then how do you know?" Meng Mu asked.

Mencius told Meng Mu the scene just now. Meng Mu said, "You should be the rude person, not your wife. Have you forgotten how the Book of Rites teaches people? Before entering the house, ask who is inside; Speak loudly when you go to the hall; To avoid seeing other people's privacy, bow your head after entering the room. Think about it, the bedroom is a place to rest. You broke in without making a sound or bowing your head. You have lost your talent. How can you blame others for being rude? The rude person is yourself! "

Mencius was so convinced of what he said that he never mentioned divorcing his wife and returning to her family again.
